Dtboy85 Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Hi, Im new to this site so i thought i would introduce myself and what im doing. I recently brought a DT125 used off road and i would like to put it back on the road and renovate it to a good condition. if there is anyone out there who could point me in the right direction it would be most appreciated. I am an electrical/mechanical engineer so i feel confident in my abilities ( i've just never worked on a bike before!). The bike has no frame no's as it was stolen/recovered (I have the receipts of my proof of purchase) and it is in progress to go on a q plate with DVLA V55/5 (so it is Legit!). as soon as i figure out how to put pictures on here could someone please help me identify the actual model number? the engine i beleive is a 4BL type (thats all the information i have). has anyone else restored a DT before and if so could you let me know what i have let myself in for. Thanks, Ben

Moderator Airhead Posted June 26, 2012 Moderator Posted June 26, 2012 I dont like the sound of no frame # how can you put it on the road without one?
Dtboy85 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 HI Thanks Mark i'll check that out. Airhead - I phoned the DVLA and they said i need to fill out a V55/5 then take the bike down there for marking which i can then get MOT'ed and insured against, they will only then issue me new documentation on a q plate. that is what the chap from the DVLA told me. I can assure you it is all legit ( otherwise i wouldnt have phoned the DVLA ). If I am missing anything important or have got the wrong end of the stick please let me know.
